Etymology
Of unclear origin. Clear cognates of the same meaning within Chadic (e.g. Karekare kyéézì , Bade kâzá , Ngizim gā̂za , Ngamo gā̀zâ , Bole gājà , Duwai kīzhìya ) may be the result of diffusion, rather than inheritance. Perhaps borrowed from Kanuri kájì ( “ guinea fowl ” ) or a Berber language, e.g. Tamasheq ékăz ( “ rooster ” ) .

Kaza
Etymology
Apparently borrowed from Russian коза́ ( kozá ) : note that the words for “male goat” and “female goat” in Latvian are non-cognate (āzis and kaza ), unlike other Baltic languages (Lithuanian ožỹs , ožkà ; Old Prussian wosux ( ) , wosee ( ) ), which suggests that an earlier Latvian term, perhaps *āze (apparently present in place names like Āzes ), was replaced by the borrowed kaza .
